1、大学英语四级改革适用（段落翻译）模拟试卷 49及答案与解析 一、 Part Translation 1 文房四宝，是中国书画的主要工具和材料，它们是笔、墨、纸、砚。人们通常称它们为 “文房四宝 ”，是说它们是文人书房中必备的四件宝贝。中国古代文人基本上都能书善画，是离不开笔墨纸砚这四件宝贝的。 “文房 ”之名，起于我国历史上的南北朝时期，专指文人书房而言，以笔、墨、纸、砚为文房最常用。文房用具除四宝以外，还有笔筒、笔架、墨盒、笔洗、印泥、印章、印盒等等，也都是书房中的必备之品。 2 “北京的颐和园、河北省承德的避暑山庄、江苏省苏州市的拙政园 (theHumble Administrators
2、Garden)和留园 (the Garden to Linger In)”并称 “中国四大名园 ”。前两座是北方皇家园林的代表，后两座是中国南方水乡私宅园林的典型代表。中国园林独特的艺术风格表现主要有三：一是追求 (pursuit)艺术性地体现大自然，即 “虽由人作，宛自天开 ”；二是注重体现人的意趣 (flavors)和精神追求；三是造园手法富于艺术美。 3 京剧 (Beijing Opera)是中 国的国粹。作为一门古老的艺术，京剧的服装(costume)、脸谱 (facial mask)更易被人喜爱。不同的服装类型反映不同的人物身份特征。富贵者的服装缀满精美的刺绣；穷困者的服装则简单朴素
3、，少有装饰(elemental)。脸谱是京剧中塑造人物形象的重要手段，它是用不同的颜色在脸上勾画出来的。脸谱的颜色让人一看便知角色 (character)的善恶。比如白色代表奸诈(treachery)，黑色代表正直不阿，黄色是骁勇，蓝、绿色多用于绿林好汉 (rebellious fighters)，金、银色多用于神佛 (divinity andBuddhism)等。 4 茶马古道 (Teahorse Ancient Road)两边，生活着 20多个少数民族。不同的地方有着各自美丽而神奇的自然风景和传统文化，比如：大理古城、丽江古城、香格里拉 (Shangrila)、雅鲁藏布大峡谷和布达拉宫 (
4、Potala Palace)。古道的两旁有庙宇、岩石壁画、驿站 (post house)、古桥和木板路。这里是很多少数民族的家园，也是他们的民族舞蹈和民族服装 (folk costume)的发源地。时至今天，虽然这条古道的踪迹都消失了， 但它的文化和历史价值仍然存在。 5 四合院 (Siheyuan)是从明代的北京延续下来的古典 (classical)建筑风格的住宅。四合院之间的狭窄的街道被称为 “胡同 ”(Hutong)。一个四合院有园林包围 (surround)着的四个房子，有高高的围墙保护。四合院与胡同都是人们常见到的，有 700多年的历史，但是由于现在的城市改造 (urbanrenov
